In keeping with the holiday spirit, it is a good time to review the friendly re lations which we enjoy so abundantly in our closely knit organiziitlon. To me these friendly rela tions seem so i»iuch more ap parent this year since I have just returned from a Europe still suffering from its war wounds and torn apart by many confused ideologies. If there is one lesson I have had brought home to me most forcibly in my recent experience in Europe, it is how fortunate wo all are who are privileged to live in this glorious country, with its limitless opportunities. In wishing you and your families the merriest of Christ mases and the warmest sea son’s greetings, may I ask you all to join with me in “God Bless America”.” H. H.

A noble idea lives forever. W. | Christmas was always a time for charity, love, faith, and gaiety. The First Christmas Card shows; r,ome of the festivities of the holi-| day season prevalent at that time. The outward appearance of' Christmas cards have not changed' too much from the first one and ■ the purpose is still the same. M. Egley had a noble idea when he made the first Christmas card. Our progress in material things, our habits, and our ways of life have greatly changed since the Victorian days when Egley etched his Christmas card. But the spirit of Christmas has not changed.
